People hanging their heads in shame, the weeds laugh,
an age where the sun has vanished desires the light

Singing feelings that don’t reach, I want them to reach so I sing, la la la

If it’s a cobbled together happiness you ought to just cast it aside right now,
I want to smile

Loveliness wading through budding crime and punishment,*
for all my days, eternally, I won’t let it wither
Goodbye to days that washed blood away with blood!
I don’t ever want to cry again, so I sing!

So that it will resound in someone in this parched land on a moonlit night

Singing feelings that don’t reach, I want them to reach so I sing, la la la

If it’s a cobbled together happiness you ought to just cast it aside right now

Loveliness wading through budding crime and punishment,*
for all my days, eternally, I won’t let it wither
Goodbye to days that washed blood away with blood!
I don’t ever want to cry again, so I sing!

* Here Ryoga uses a different kanji to form this word, which means “lovely/pretty” or “pitiful” and is normally written 「可憐」. He changed the first character to one that means “flower” to add another layer of symbolism.
